[Original post on the Sciblogs The Official Sciblogs Podcast site]
UPDATE: Youtube vids now up (and at bottom of post)
Including fallen angels satellites, post-doc jobs in NZ, Foldit, HIV, nanotubes, Chinese space programme, neutrinos, intuition, suing geologists, Otzi, poetry. And a bunch of other stuff!
This week’s episode is a little longer than usual.
Why? Because there was such a preponderance of interesting sciencepr0n that we (aimee and Elf) just couldn’t help ourselves*. So we didn’t try :)
As always, please do contact us with constructive criticisms, commentary, camaraderie or questions**.
This week’s pearltree here, all TOSP pearltrees here.
